Background:
After being installed against his will at Gustavus College in 
Minnesota, Josh quickly flagged down a passing Space Taxi with 
a towel, hoping to hitch his way somewhere more interesting.  
Unfortunately, the driver was merely on his way to visit his 
grandmother in California and dropped him on his rear just off 
the party grounds.  Finding himself stranded with nothing better 
to do, Josh decided to join the party hoping that no one would 
question his presence with only one (low-quality) DG chapter, 
various appearances on the BBS, and a starter which may or may 
not be submitted on time.
